WOMEN IN THE LIONS DEN.
"You are Immensely strong, M.
Bidel ?"
81 used to be" he replied, modestly.
81 have told you what l did at Bay
onne when a lad. At Madrid once l
pursued lion that had got loose for
thirty minutes. caught him single
handed, and held him till my men
brought up his cage, into which l
threw him. Well, yes; l was slightly
damaged. At one time one of the
great hits of my performance was to
pick up full-sized lion on my shoul-
ders and to carry him around the cage
three times. The lion weighed 200
kilos. / am not so strong now. Sui
tan knocked it out of me considerably.
No; follow no particular regime
training, you call it-and never have
done so. avoid excesses of all kinds,
especially of strong drink, and that is
ALL"
"You sometimes take amateurs into
the cage with you, do you not"
Frequently. Ladies', usually. Wo-
men are much more courageous than
men. A woman who once offers to
enter never draws back. Men fire.
quently do. Women are far nobler
and more intelligent than men. That
is obvious; they take much less
alcohol. They certainly ought to be
allowed to vote. The first woman who
entered the cage with me was Mile.
Ghinassi, of the Varieties Theatre.
That was in Paris, in 1874. All the
brutes in my show were collected in
the cage. In 1879 Mile. Rousseil,
tragic actress, also accompanied
me. and, surrounded by all my lions,
recited "Melpomene. In 1879 Mile.
Josse, OF Cherbourg, and in 1880 MIR.
Crockford, of Dieppe, an English
shipowner, repeated the experiment.
My guests tremble good deal out
side the door, but once inside the cage
seem to master their emotion. The
women always show more pluck" +"
had been looking out of the win
dow of the billiard-room, and had
seen some peacocks strutting about
the garden.
"Are you superstitious ?" asked.
"Ah! No. 49,"
"No. l alluded to the peacock"
81 am not superstitious at all. That
is all nonsense about 13. Would you
not rather take 3,0OOf. than 2,OO0f. /?
OF course. Well, then, Alexiano is
superstitious, and so is my wife. She
breads a Friday on the 18th Of the
month, and won't stir out of the
house nor buy anything on such day.
l gave my first performance in Paris
on Friday, the 18th of the month, and
it was in Paris made my great sue
cess. For, as you see, have been
very successful. l attribute my sue
cess to my firmness of will and econo-
my. Economy is the great secret. l
was very poor. and very unhappy
when was lad. You see me now,
at AZ, rich, prosperous and famous.
Will, will and energy are the weap-
ons man needs. With these mas
tered my lions first, and the world af-
terward. But to succeed you must
have money, and if you have no for
tune you must save. This is what l

THE COST OF A LIONS KEEP.

"Apropos of economy, you must
have heavy expenses
"Yes, l calculate my expenses in
Paris at about l., 900 francs a month,
and it is at Paris we spend least. AT
Bordeaux l spent HOO francs day,
and of course when we are travelling
in our special train we spend far more.
The expenses include food for the
beasts, rent for space and the tax on
the entertainments, which goes to the
public assistance office. l use one
horse day to feed my animals. We
give them beef twice a week. One
day in the month they fast. A lion
eats twenty pounds of flesh per diem,
and drinks two quarts of cows milk
every morning. The Polar bears get
fish oil twice a week. Then there is the
loss of the beasts to be considered.
There is terrible mortality by con-
sumption among the lions, and
lion is worth from 10000 francs
to 10000 francs. The cost price
of lion, untamed, is e600. That is
what l paid for Sultan, who Is now
worth at least $4,000. He is the most
magnificent specimen of a black
named Atlas lion in Europe. You
must consider the capital we have to
sink in our subjects" when you cal
culate our expenses. On the other
hand, the receipts are good. Neuilly
fair IS one of the most productive OF
the places we visit, We give two per-
formances every night and make a
daily average receipt of f60. On Sun
days we usually make 9l00 or e120,
but with six performances, at reduced
prices. l forgot to mention one item
of expense, which is the band. We
only employ Frenchmen, and they are
more expensive than Germans. |
have not had a single German en-
ploye since 1871. You saw what a
fuss was made because my colleague a
Pezon had German band. He has
had to dismiss them and employ
Frenchmen. The Germans are being
bounded out of every establishment
in the business"
M. Bidel then again invited me to
take cue, which | did, to complete
discomforture. While playing l asked
him if in the daytime he ever felt any
apprehension of danger. He answered
that he never had any such feelings.
His days were spent in quiet home
life in the company of his wife and
children-a sturdy little boy and re-
markably beautiful girl OF sixteen, who
appears to be wonderfully intelligent
and advanced in her education. 81

planned of being quite sick. lie asked
his brother to assist him out of the buggy,
and at the same time said he believed
he was going to die. His brother saw at
once that he was seriously i'll, and con-
cluded to turn the buggy around and
drive back short distance to the home OF
Mr.. Harrison Price. Mr.. Stephenson be-
gan to cough, and in few seconds be-
came speechless. He was carried into Mr..
Prices house, and in an hour or two
passed away. Mr.. Stephenson had been
for two years partially paralyzed, and
several days ago he remarked to his wife
that he believed his end was near at hand.
On the day of his death, however, he
seemed more cheerful than usual, and ate
hearty dinner. Mr.. Stephenson was
about Al years of age, and was success
full farmer. He was an upright man, and
was highly esteemed by large circle OF
friends and acquaintance. He was
member of the Baptist Church. Els re-
mains were inferred at Cross Roads
Church on Tuesday, the funeral services
being conducted by Rev. j. R. Earle. He
leaves wife and one child.

New Church at Bolton.

Mr.. EDITOR: More than once within
the last three years have unsuccessful
efforts been made to build new Church
by the Baptists of Bolton. This is not
due to the fact that the members of said
Church are financially unable, for consid-
erable wealth is represented in said
Church, but for want of proper energy.
A new Church now becomes moral and
social necessity, and for this purpose a
meeting of every member, and all inter-
ested, is called on Sunday, November 9th,
at II o'clock a. m. It is very important
that the whole membership shall be rep
resented in that meeting, as matters of
very great importance in connection with
the Church are to be discussed.
Come prepared to subscribe literally.
Remember, to give is as much an act of
worship as the attendance upon any of
the ordinances Of the Church.

Some say
That nows items have no Immediate
connection.
That since they were married they both
look perfectly calm and serene.
That the eggs and butter arc being saved
for another wedding cake.
That Col. John G. Clinkscales does not
know anything about what our people
have done to our school house, elso he
would say something about it in the
Teachers Column.
That he would be surprised to see what
decided Improvements have been made
within the literary walls of the building
since his intellectual cranium last entered
the door.
That one hundred and seven dollars
spent for the Improvement Of the building
by committee of such business men as
Col. L. Z. Campbell, 3. B. Breazeale and
W. A. Geer, is money we'll spent.
That since the house has been ceiled,
eight feet added to the length of the build
ing rostrum, of the entire width of the
house, eight feet Deep the entire house
furnished with good and comfortable seats,
seven feet long, made by Mr.. Beacham, of
the city of Anderson, at cost of Sl.25
apiece, with an aisle four feet through the
centre, together with several other i'm
provements, it is needless To say that
eve thing indicates intelligence, and
points to higher standard Of education.
That hereafter when there is growing
heard in the Teachers Column about the
uncomfortable condition of school houses
in Anderson County, that it is not at Eu-
reka.
That the community is greatly indebted
to Col. L. e. Campbell, the Sunday
Schools beloved and able superintendent,
for the untiring zeal and deep interest
which he has for the last two years mani
tested in both the literary and religious
prosperity of the youth of our community.
That the Sunday School is doing work
superior to many of the Churches.
That the response, which Mrs. ". A.
Geer made at the presentation Of the pre-
MUM Bible by the Superintendent, was
appropriate and touching.
That during the two last years some-
thing over. three hundred dollars have
been paid out by this community in max
ing preparations for the education of the
children, but this amount was partly
raised by friends outside this community,
to whom we all feel under many obliga-
tions.

The roads have pretty generally been
worked, and they now look little more
like civilized people inhabited this coun-
try.
The continued wet weather has some.
what thrown our farmers back With their
work. Cotton is pretty well picked out,
with the exception Of some late bolls that
were made after the August rain. The
crop will be an average one, We think,
after all the talk on both sides.
Corn has nearly all been gathered, and
has turned out pretty fair, except on
river and creek bottoms.
There will be considerable crop of
small grain sown this fall, if the weather
is favorable.
Potatoes are fine, possums are fat, and
we will leave you to guess about what
kind of a time we are having. Partridges
are numerous, and, judging from the
amount of shooting going on, there is lit
tie respect paid to the law. Wild geese
have made an appearance on the Savan-
nah, and game of different kinds is plen-
tiful.
Our friends who visited the Piedmont
Exposition have returned, and express
themselves as being we'll paid for time
and money spent. They tell some pretty
good jokes on each other that occurred
while in Atlanta.
The patrons of the Ruhamah School
have secured the services of Miss Mary
Roberts as teacher. Miss Roberts comes

patrons.
Miss Bette Earle will probably open
| school next Monday two miles below Ru-
hannah, ON the Lowndesville road. We
trust Miss Bette will have no trouble in
getting school, as she is fine teacher,
and blind man could see that one is bad
| ly needed in this section. We hope the
| patrons will give Miss Earle school of at
least eight months. We hayo about
! reached the conclusion that schools which
| run from two to three months are but lit
| tie better than no school, aud also that if
| the public money was entirely dispensed
| with and every one thrown on his own re-
sources, We would have better schools.
We charge nothing for this suggestion.
Rev. B. NJ. Pack has been visiting re-
